    How do you know Pugs didn't vote The Cleaver just to pip me????

    A bloke told me that his sister said that her husbands cousin once claimed Pugs said Williams was "overrated" on another forum!

    Danny Nardico was ranked;

    Lhvy
    1951 no5
    1952 no6
    1953 no4
    He is the only man to floor Lamotta.
    No matter how many times you are corrected it makes not the slightest difference,you repeat the same **** over and over again.
    Your ill- founded conceit that you actually know something about boxing will forever prevent you learning anything of the sport.
    Basically you're just an Aunt Sally Punchbag for the Forum.

    Was ranked and neber came close to being a good LHW.

    That's like if Bob Foster beat Thad Spencer or Buster Mathis, doesn't mean he'll be good hw at all.

    I might be wrong but I think LaMotta fought a majority of his fights above 160 pounds which technically then made him a light heavyweight.
